Bubi Canal is a Spanish-American artist based in New York whose photography, video art, and sculpture playfully address ideas around hybrid mythology, identity, and personal history. After earning a BFA at the University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, he went on to study at the Complutense University of Madrid, before moving to New York in 2011. Canal’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at galleries and institutions worldwide, including the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati; Digitaliseum in Malmö, Sweden; and Munch Gallery in New York. He has also shown work in numerous group exhibitions, in venues including the Galicia Contemporary Art Center in Spain, Aperture Foundation in New York, NOW Gallery in London, Museum and Contemporary Art Center of Malaga, and the Benaki Museum in Athens.
Canal’s work was featured in The British Journal of Photography and contributed to New York Magazine, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. He was selected for the 2016 issue of Foam Talent, and included in the Foam Talent group exhibitions at Red Hook Labs in New York City and Beaconsfield Gallery Vauxhall in London. Canal was an artist-in-residence at Silver Art Projects in the World Trade Center in New York.
